The United States has imposed sanctions on Rwanda, accusing it of sabotaging a Trump-brokered peace deal related to the ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The move marks a significant deterioration in U.S.-Rwanda relations and signals Washington's direct involvement in the peace process.
